Remarks -

The college is the best you can find in the country once you come here you will have a completely new family new friends a totally new experience and one more thing your parents will enjoy your campus more than you will because it's totally subsidized

Remarks -

I would say that there is no Wi-Fi facility provided by the campus as it is limited only to 20 MB which is not enough. The library facilities are not good enough, and they take the library fees at the beginning of every year. But the number of issued books are limited to only four that too for 15 days only. The games are provided, but there is no separate class fee for that. The labs are good. There is only one canteen for the whole campus, and it is very congested. The food quality is average. The hostel provided by the college is not up to the mark. Once at the exam, the system was not working properly which made me irritated, and I lost my marks.

Remarks -

Interaction with seniors was the best part in my college life. They were the constant support all through. Contrary to the popular belief that seniors are to be scared, this college helped me to find friends and mentors in them.
